Sangrur, July 11

A day after she faced opposition from members of “farmer organisations” in Ladda village, Simrat Kaur Khangura, wife of Dhuri MLA Dalvir Singh Goldy, on Sunday visited various houses in the village as locals and panchayat members supported her.

“None is opposing us, as all know that we are working hard for the village’s development. Today I visited various houses and met many villagers who are like our family members,” said Kaur.

On Saturday, farmers from surrounding villages had opposed Simrat Kaur in Ladda village. But she neither called the police nor left the village, saying she had come to meet her relatives and not to seek votes.

“Some of our political opponents under the garb of farmers are creating problems. I request all other villagers not to allow such persons to spoil the peace of their area,” said Simrat Kaur while meeting locals.

Village Sarpanch Mithu Ladda said: “Simrat Kaur and her MLA husband have been regularly visiting all villages to check whether the developmental grant has been utilised properly. On Sunday, she came and none from our village opposed her.”
